I found this image to be very hard on the eyes, as much is out of focus, and that which is in focus is cluttered by it's surroundings. I really had to search the image to find the mathc with your title - just don't think it was strong enough. Perhaps if you had only the spoon with reflection in the image it would be better.
As for the desat - does not work for me here either.
This composition is a little to busy for me. The painting on the object to the far right seems to draw the most attention, but doesn't appear to be a main subject. I think simplifying this shot could bring out it's real message better.
This is absolutly not working for me. Total chaos, I didn't see the bottle until after a while, the lightning is dull, and the frog-something in background is stealing all the attention.
This is very busy and confusing. I think I can see a bit of a fork on the left hand side, but my eyes keep going back to the frog (?) on the right, since that is the only thing with real focus. I don't quite understand what you were trying to do here. 4
